The Alberta Pulse Showcase was a successful Alberta event as part of the 2016 International Year of Pulses celebration. In partnership with the Alberta Pulse Growers and Alberta Agriculture & Forestry’s Food and Bio-Processing Branch, new products were developed with industry partners that used Canadian peas, beans, faba beans and their fractions.

Products presented at three Alberta Pulse Showcase events in 2016 included:

• Ready-to-eat meat bars
• Ravioli
• Old-fashioned black and red licorice
• Hot Italian and chorizo sausages
• Decadent, rich chocolate cake
• Thin and crispy chips
• Sweet, delicate macarons
• Savoury beef patties
• Frozen vanilla and chocolate flavoured desserts
• Healthy dog treats

Continuing beyond 2016, the goal is to further increase awareness and the local consumption of pulses and pulse ingredients in value-added food products.
